About Tara

I was first introduced to home care when I was a teenager as my grandmother suffered from Breast Cancer,I became her primary caretaker,so upon my 18 th birthday I went ahead and took the CNA/HHA CLASSES.I truly love what I do,it gives me great pleasure caring for someone,also being able to care for someone who needs to be cared for,and wants to enjoy thier last year's in their home.I have been doing this (care taking) for 26 years. I am well rounded in this field.I am able to make quick decisions,very attentive.I have done everything from just being a companion to more technical jobs that included catheter care,ALS,MS,Hoyer lifts and more.I have worked with Alzheimer's and Dementia patients for the vast majority of my career.Patience is key and quality of life is important.Any Questions please feel free to contact me @413-799-8965.

I started caring for people even before I completed my CNA certification. I've always had a passion to help people in need and to be a companion to people that don't have anyone else. I am very passionate about what I do because I love what I do. I am very proud of the education that I continue to pursue. My ultimate goal is to become a nurse. The thing I enjoy the most about this job is the different people I get to care for. I've learned a lot from my clients ,and I know that they could be completely comfortable with me.

My story started when my grandparents got sick. My grandparents raised me. When they got sick I took care of both of them for 2 years each. I love being around elderly people and enjoy their company. I believe in my career that is important to build a relationship with clients and their families . My clients become like my family. What makes my current clients family happy is that they know when I'm with their family they are good hands. The advice I was given by a current clients family was that I am very observant . What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is being able to wake up in the morning and going to see my clients and talk with them also having a great feeling I helped them achieve their goals. I have strong feelings as long as my client can still do some things independently it is important to stand by them , let them still have their independence . I have a lot of patience and compassion with my clients and that's why my current clients families like me.
